Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said Monday that those at the trucker protests in Ottawa this weekend who harassed workers at a local homeless shelter, placed an upside-down Canadian flag on a Terry Fox statue, or danced on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier "owe an apology to Canadians."
He called what they did "despicable" and said the acts take away from the message the broader community of law-abiding citizens attending the rallies both in Ottawa and other cities were trying to communicate.
He said they are conveying a message that vaccine mandates are not working or necessary and are something they'd like the federal government to remove.
Moe also said actions by individuals like those at the Ottawa protest who conducted "despicable" acts do similar actions at previous protests and that when an "individual performs a despicable act," it should not detract from the message being brought forward.
The premier was also asked about a perceived silence or indifference by those potentially standing by when such individuals perform despicable acts, to which he responded saying people should step in and stop it from happening.
